"Fresh Seafood in a lovely waterside setting. We drove down from Los Angeles to a Pop Art exhibition at OCMA in Newport Beach & found this fun place in the marina. Warm, casual & reasonably priced, this indoor/outdoor pier restaurant overlooks the yachts & speed boats from its spacious terrace. Well-priced freshly made crab cakes, fish or shrimp tacos, fried calamari & delectable ceviche, were on our menu. Craft beers, nice wines by the glass & full bar complete the picture. Recommended!" - WehoTravelers, Los Angeles, California.
